Patent CA-2588600-A1 (CA)
Title: Apparatus for separating particulates from a fluid stream
Inventor: CHARLTON DAVID R
IPC: B01D21/02
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: A screen apparatus (100) for improved separation of particulates from a fluid stream is configured and arranged to filter relatively large particulates from the fluid stream as the fluid stream passes from a storage chamber (16) of the tank (11) to a tank outlet (13) and is removably affixed to a diverter, such as a baffle (14), used to divert a portion or all of the fluid into the storage chamber. The screen (100) is preferably shaped to substantially conform to the shape of the diverter (14) to aid in the smoothing of the fluid flow within the retention section of the tank and may be entirely porous, or it may be non-porous at its leading edge (104) to minimize particulate build-up at the transition from the tank interior wall to the screen (100). The apparatus may optionally include a second screen (200) to provide additional filtering of floating particulates as the fluid level in the tank exceeds the crown elevation of the inlet (12). The second screen (200) may be substantially horizontally oriented and may be combined with a collection weir (201) and may be conical in shape. A high flow bypass arrangement for the separation system may include an upper baffle (300) and a lower baffle (310) or a screen (320) instead of the lower baffle (310). The upper baffle (300) is set closer to the center of the tank (11) than the lower baffle (310) or screen (320), thereby providing more volume for flow diversion behind the upper baffle (300).

IPC: B01D63/12
Filed: 2005-12-15
Abstract: An upright filter unit (10 ) is disclosed which comprises a membrane (16) consisting of a perforated, vertical permeate pipe (12) and a plurality of leaves (14) of semipermeable material which permits water to pass through it.  The semi-permeable material defines a plurality of solids retention passages and a plurality of permeate passages. The leaves (14) are wound around the perforated vertical pipe (12) into which the permeate water flows, the membrane being inside a casing (40). An inlet (24) at the bottom of the unit allows raw water under pressure to flow to the solids retention passages of the membrane. An air inlet (32) at the upper end of the unit permits air under pressure to enter the upper end of the unit, and hence the upper ends of the solids retention passages, until the air and water pressures are balanced.  Flushing of retained solids is achieved by closing the outlet from the perforated pipe and opening both a flushing water inlet and a flushing water outlet whilst maintaining air. pressure at the upper end of the casing.

Title: Method for forming a bank deposit
Inventor: SINELNIKOV ALEXANDER MIKHAILOV
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-09-16
Abstract: A method for originating a bank deposit with the use of a computer is suggested, which implies entering the deposit characteristics into a computer. Use of the method makes it possible to achieve a technical result in the form of increase of the effectiveness of the origination of a bank deposit, improvements of the visualization and availability of the data presented to the bank customer, and enhancements of the functional characteristics of the method. The technical result is achieved due to the bank deposit being originated out of two or more currencies, the costs of which are correlated to the independent unit of deposit value. The proportions of the currency components in the deposit are then calculated, which give such a ratio between the deposit risk and yield that is optimum from the point of view of preserving and/or increasing the purchasing capacity of the deposit.
